Horse Race Rapids - Crystal Falls

There are more than 100 waterfalls in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Some are easily accessible and others, like this one, take a bit more work. You will have to get off the main road and then it is quite a long and steep climb down.

This rapids is popular with adventurous kayakers and white water enthusiasts and should be attempted only by the very skilled. The rapids is located just a few miles south of Crystal Falls. As you climb down to the rapids, you will encounter these unusual depressions in the rock. Some are as much as two feet deep and speaks of water cascading down long ago.
